I’m out of chocolate today, it’s more of a blessing than it is a curse at the moment. I’ve only maintained my weight loss because I can’t stop gorging on the chocolate goodness that was my life last week. My DH bought me Godiva and to top that off I made and ate a whole batch of brownies. Shame on me. The scale says the same thing, but I’d be interested to see what it says today since I ate one of those Angus burgers at McDonalds.
I’m in serious need of making a grocery list, and I have to use coupons. I think I haven’t clipped any coupons for two months now. Shame on me all that wasted money. I’m just out of the habit of matching sales, and my meal plan. If you’ve been looking at my meal plans they have been very boring and basic, just trying to get by without going shopping at all.
We’re out of water, well, we’re out of bottled water. My husband loves using bottled water on the bus to work, he said that while I was gone he used my re-usable water bottles but now that I’m back home he’s not using them. Hmmm, I have enough to share I think, and it would be cheaper and nicer to the environment if he would just use a re-usable water bottle like me. Hmmm.
Thumb Sucking and potty training are my biggest challenges right now. My daughter is habitual at thumb sucking, and it’s not like a pacifier, I can’t just take it away, even though my uncle told me the best method would be just to break it. Then she wouldn’t be able to suck on it. Yeah, he did say that.
I post too much for such a small profile blog. No one can keep up with me and my crazy posts. Ugg, why do I do so much?
Self esteem is low this month, I’m worried about needing my anti-depressants again.
Potty Training was making me want to tear my hair out and I actually thought my husband didn’t think she was quite ready to do it, well on Saturday he suggested that I adjust the timer to go off at 30 minute intervals instead of 20 minute intervals, Two days in a row she did everything in her potty. I was so happy. Then on Monday, I had to take care of Miles and well, we didn’t do very good with potty training. She doesn’t want to go when we’re out in public? Not sure what to do? Do I need to take a portable potty?
I love you guys. Those of you that come and read, and I know you don’t always leave comments and that’s ok. I’m just glad you stopped by.
I am having potty training problems with my daughter too. She never tells me when she wants to go. So she has a lot of accidents. She is 3 and gonna start preschool soon so i really wish she would just be fully potty trained magically lol.
I hope your month starts to improve. {hugs}
I really need to get back in the habit of using coupons and meal planning. I’ve been so lazy lately–I think it’s all the dreary weather!
I too haven’t done real shopping for awhile, sometimes the coupon thing burns me out. You know, some people think it is so easy, but it take some work, and if you have small ones, then it takes alot of work!
My daughter took forever to potty train. She could go poo in her panties and run around with out a care in the world, at the age of 3. I have 6 children, 5 boys, 1 girl. She was, by far, the hardest to potty train so far. My youngest is still in diapers, but at 15 months, he already shows an interest in the potty, so I think he may be potty trained by the age of 2 (like all my boys).
Hang in there, I think for most of us moms, we’ve been there. The days when we want to throw a personal tantrum of our own. But time flies, and they grow, and believe me, it is worth it (my oldest is 15 years old!).
There is a great product to help your child stop thumb sucking in a fun and positive way. It is called “Thumbuddy To Love” and kids love it! You can get it on Amazon or on ThumbuddyToLove dot com. The sooner you start the better because thumb sucking can really change the teeth and the roof of the mouth. Age 3-4 is a great age to hlpe your child break the thumb sucking habit…
This sounds like my life! Ha!!
have you heard about a new product ‘Potette’? I’m thinking of getting it; it fits over a normal toilet seat but the legs can also can be folded down to make a small stand alone potty. Liners can be placed over the potty to catch the refuse. Only $15 at Amazon.
For chocolate cravings, have you considered going DARKER. If you are a chocoholic and are trying to lose weight… The darker bars tend to have both fiber, which will stabilize your blood sugar so you can avoid the sugar crash and desire to eat still MORE chocolate, and less sugar. My favorite by far is LINDT I like 90% but you could start slow at say 50% and work your way up.
